ThinkLemon Reset: Part 1.1 – Code Cleanup and Validation

Article: ThinkLemon Reset After having thrown out the CSS last month, I’ve been messing with the templating code that make up this WordPress theme.

Don’t worry. In due time the CSS/Script will return. Think of it as a live experiment or “Eating my own dogfood“.
